I just think it's awesome that both of these small Class A schools have close to 50 players on their roster, the way I understand it Paintsville a few under 50 and Pikeville a few over 50...pretty impressive that both schools and communities should be proud of.
I admit I have hoped for the past few years that Pikeville would move up to 2A, though I have no idea what their enrollment is or if it's even close to being 2A...with Belfry and Pike Central already on the schedule and a move to 2A would add Shelby Valley and East Ridge to the schedule and possibly Betsy Layne if they are 2A...it would be cool to see all Pikeville area high schools on the schedule. Having said that, the resurgence of Paintsville has made 1A more fun and hopefully Hazard and some more schools will add some parity to make 1A football even better. Plus that state title was awful sweet and I realize how much tougher that would be if the Panthers were in 2A.
